Adam Lazarre-White

Adam’s story starts smack in the middle of New York City chaos, bouncing between The Fieldston School halls before landing himself at Harvard—yeah, that Harvard. Early on he was racking up TV credits: Living Single, Will & Grace, The Parkers, and doing his thing as “Flynn” in the Emmy-winning The Temptations. Not to brag, but he nabbed an NAACP Image Award nomination for his run as Nathan Hastings in The Young & Restless. The guy’s not just a face, either. He adapted and produced Just Passin’ Through and What Angels Fear for the Dreambuilder Foundation and Proctor & Gamble, pulling in Emmys for both. And as if that wasn’t enough, he scored back-to-back Regional Emmys for Lead Actor. More recently? Adam’s rolled through projects like Flinch, directed by Cameron Van Hoy, the 2018 comedy hit Uncle Drew, and showed up in Joel Edgerton’s The Gift. He’s popped up in Lethal Weapon, Rosewood, Netflix’s Glow, played a B613 assassin in Scandal, plus recurring gigs on Heroes and Criminal Minds. Oh, and he’s shared the screen with Willem Dafoe in Love’s Routine and Al Pacino in Ocean’s 13. He co-wrote, produced, and starred in Forgiveness, a film that swept the Martha’s Vineyard Film Fest and San Diego Black Fest—yeah, Best Feature Film and Best Supporting Actor, all his. Adam also wrote for Vin Diesel’s wild web series The Ropes, and he’s got deep theater chops—Mercutio, Bobby Seale, Cody, you name it. Sports? He was all-county in football and baseball, quarterbacking for Harvard and stacking up weekly honors. Family’s no joke, either: his dad’s a commissioner, his mom’s an author/professor, and his brother Khary runs an award-winning youth org in Harlem. Adam directs too—his short 200 Years made it to the third round of Oscar voting. These days, he’s kicking back with his wife Dendrie Taylor and their daughter, Aiyana.
